PRESS RELEASE FROM EVENT ORGANIZERS:
Perceptions the Black Male: Images of Dignity
This body of work was inspired by the need to present a counter perception to the continuous seemingly collective negative perceptions of black males in the United States. We believe that now is an important and opportune time to address the various perceptions of black males in our society. This body of work places emphasis on positive representations. We believe in the power of art to provoke and/or expand society’s re-imagination, effectively contributing to social transformation.
Where: The Pink Dog Creative, 348 Depot Street, Asheville, NC
Time: Opening reception is June 3rd 5-8 p.m.
